How to remove blank lines of javadoc using AST? [message #507606]

I'm writing a tool to remove redundant blank lines of javadoc, using AST.

For example:

/**
 * aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 *
 *
 * cccccccccccccccccccccccccc
 */
public void somemethod() {
}

There are two blank lines between "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and "ccccccccccccccccccc". I want to remove one of them.

I used AST to parse the source, but it seems the blank lines are ignored. The retrieving nodes of this javadoc only have two elements:

1. TextElement: [aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
2. TextElement: [cccccccccccccccccccccccccc]

Although both of them have correct startPositition and length, but I don't kown how to remove the blank lines between them. I need your help~
